1. Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
2. THIS PRODUCT (Propolis Light Cream): Apply a pea-sized amount to your face and neck.
3. Sunscreen (AM): Always finish with SPF 30+ to protect your skin and its glow.

Note: Already own a similar moisturizer? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption.

Minimalist Routine (3-4 steps):

1. Cleanser: Gently wash your face.
2. Hydrating Toner/Essence (Optional): Adds a layer of hydration.
3. THIS PRODUCT (Propolis Light Cream): Apply to moisturize and nourish.
4. Sunscreen SPF 30+: The final and most important step to protect your skin.

Wait Times: Allow 30-60 seconds between watery layers and 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen to prevent pilling.

Minimalist Routine (3 steps):

1. Cleanser: Double cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant sunscreen (use an oil cleanser, then a water-based cleanser).
2. THIS PRODUCT (Propolis Light Cream): Apply as your nourishing and repairing step.
3. Sleeping Pack (Optional, 2-3x a week): If your skin is very dry, add a sleeping pack as the final step to seal in moisture overnight.

Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest consistency to the thickest.

• Amount: A pea-sized amount is sufficient for the face; add a little more for the neck.
• Frequency: Use daily, both morning and evening, after cleansing and any serums.
• Method: Gently spread the cream across your face, avoiding the immediate eye area. Pat lightly to help it absorb.
• Makeup Tip (No Pilling): The cream creates a smooth, hydrated base for makeup. Wait 1-2 minutes for it to fully absorb before applying primer or foundation to ensure a non-pilling, glowing finish.

• Daily Use: This cream is gentle enough for daily use, both AM and PM, as your primary moisturizer.
• With Actives: It can be used in the same routine as exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinoids. Its soothing properties can help buffer potential irritation from stronger ingredients.
• Example Week (PM Focus):
  • Mon: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) → THIS PRODUCT
  • Tue: Soothing Night (Hydrating Serum → THIS PRODUCT)
  • Wed: Retinoid → THIS PRODUCT
  • Thu: Soothing Night (Hydrating Serum → THIS PRODUCT)
  • Fri: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) → THIS PRODUCT
  • Sat: Soothing Night (Hydrating Serum → THIS PRODUCT)
  • Sun: Retinoid → THIS PRODUCT

• Immediately: Skin feels hydrated, soothed, and appears plumper with a subtle, healthy glow. The lightweight texture absorbs without a greasy film.
• 2-4 Weeks: You may notice a reduction in redness and irritation. Skin tone appears more even and radiant as the antioxidant properties begin to take effect.
• 4-8+ Weeks: With consistent use, the skin barrier feels stronger and more resilient. The skin maintains a healthy level of hydration and a consistent, natural-looking glow.

Myth: "I have oily or acne-prone skin, so I should skip moisturizer to avoid making it worse."

Why This, Not That: Skipping moisturizer can dehydrate your skin, causing it to produce even more oil to compensate, which can lead to more breakouts. Instead of avoiding moisturizers, choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic one like the Propolis Light Cream. Its gel-cream texture provides essential hydration without clogging pores, and the antibacterial properties of propolis can actually help calm acne-prone skin. A balanced, hydrated barrier is crucial for managing oil and preventing breakouts.

• Works Well With: This cream is highly compatible with most skincare ingredients. It pairs excellently with hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, soothing agents like Centella Asiatica, and brightening actives like Niacinamide and Vitamin C. Its calming nature makes it a great buffer for stronger actives like Retinoids and chemical exfoliants (AHA/BHA).
• Use Carefully With: If you have a known allergy to bee products (honey, pollen, royal jelly), you should patch test this product carefully before applying it to your entire face.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to broken or infected skin without consulting a healthcare professional.

• Oily & Combination Skin: Excellent. The lightweight gel-cream texture provides hydration without feeling heavy or greasy, making it ideal for humid climates.
• Dry & Dehydrated Skin: Very good. It offers a significant boost of hydration and nourishment. Very dry skin types might prefer to layer it over a hydrating serum or under a light facial oil at night.
• Sensitive & Acne-Prone Skin: Very good. The formula is hypoallergenic and packed with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial ingredients that help soothe redness and calm breakouts.
• Normal Skin: Excellent. Provides the perfect amount of daily moisture to maintain a healthy, glowing complexion.

• Dehydrated, dull, and tired-looking skin
• Redness and irritation
• Skin that needs nourishment and a healthy glow
• Fine lines due to dehydration
• Compromised skin barrier

Safety for Teens: This product is gentle and generally suitable for teenagers, especially for providing lightweight hydration to acne-prone or dehydrated skin. It is best to stick to a simple routine of cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen unless guided by a clinician.

• Texture & Finish: A unique gel-cream texture that feels nourishing upon application but absorbs quickly into the skin. It leaves a healthy, dewy (but not greasy) finish, often described as a "honey glow."
• Scent: A very subtle, natural scent reminiscent of honey.
• pH: The pH level is not officially published by the brand, but it is formulated to be gentle and compatible with the skin's natural pH.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: This product contains Sunflower Seed Oil and Beeswax, which may be potential triggers for those with Malassezia folliculitis. While many users do not experience issues, a patch test is advised if you are prone to fungal acne. Individual responses vary.

• Issue: The cream feels slightly sticky after application.
  Quick Fix: You may be using too much product. A pea-sized amount is all that is needed. Try applying it to slightly damp skin and patting it in gently, rather than rubbing, to improve absorption.
• Issue: My skin feels oily by the end of the day.
  Quick Fix: While the cream is lightweight, very oily skin types in a humid climate might find it more suitable as a night cream. For daytime, try using an even smaller amount or pairing it with a mattifying sunscreen.
• Issue: I'm experiencing small breakouts.
  Quick Fix: If you are prone to fungal acne, the oils in the formula could be a trigger. Discontinue use on affected areas and see if the breakouts clear. Alternatively, ensure you are cleansing thoroughly at night to remove all product residue.

• Humid Summer: The lightweight, gel-cream texture is ideal for Mauritius's humid weather. It provides ample hydration without feeling heavy, suffocating, or greasy, leaving a comfortable, glowing finish.
• Drier Winter/AC Environments: During the slightly drier winter months or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, you might want to layer this cream over a hydrating toner or serum to boost moisture. For very dry skin, it can be sealed with a drop of facial oil at night.

Is this cream suitable for hot, humid weather?

Yes, its lightweight gel-cream texture is specifically designed to absorb well without feeling greasy, making it an excellent choice for the Mauritian climate.

Can I use this if I have acne?

Yes. The propolis extract has natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe and calm acne-prone skin.

Is it sticky?

It has a slight initial dewiness from the honey and propolis but absorbs into the skin without a sticky or heavy residue.

Will this help with my dark spots (PIH)?

While its main function is not brightening, the anti-inflammatory properties of propolis can help calm the inflammation that leads to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Healthy, hydrated skin also tends to repair and even out its tone more effectively over time.
